Im guessing he's saying that because Mia are back to back champs but if that isnt why he's saying it then its foolish. Indy has clearly gotten better the last 2 seasons. In fact they're a bigger threat to miami simply bc of the Hibbert and West combo down low.

Derrik Rose made that statement before the Bulls 2nd preseason win over the Pacers.
In both games D.Rose went at Hibbert as if Hibbert was a 6.5 player.
The preseason games showed D.Rose has not lost a step from his MVP season.

The Nets Deron Williams has never been a athletic or high IQ threat to D.Rose, plus after D.Rose watch Nate & Hindrich demolish D.Williams in the first round last season, he dont see much of a rivalry everytime HC Thib's give him the nod to run-run an uptempo offense on the Kidd/KG/Pierce/Terry Brooklyn Nets.

The only vision in D.Rose mind n eye-set are on the 2010 Chicago Bulls getting knocked-out of the ECF with a SWEEP by the Miami Heats in his MVP season...

I'm surprised that someone born and raised in Chi-town would say something like that. Bulls have rivals alright but it ain't Miami Heat. Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers and The New York Knicks are your rivals you little prick. D-Rose

I think he's referring to right now, and that it was 'supposed' to be Heat - Bulls a year ago when he went down. I don't think he's looking at historical rivalries.

Maybe, lastseason Pacers having assistant coach Brian Shaw couldve had a chance of beating the Bulls, maybe.
Dont forget it was the Bulls who stopped Miami Heats long (20 sumthin game) winning streak.

I am not sleeping on the Bulls this upcoming season in a 7 game series, HC Thibs bigmen fronline of Noah/Booz/D/and Gibs are going into their 4th season together. The Bulls 2011 draft pick 6.7 SG-Butler is a combo-thief on defense, and 6.9 SG-Dunleavy cant be trusted on offense. When u add a 6.4 Combo-guard Hinrich plus a 6.3 MVP D.Rose to the rotation the Chicago Bulls only weakness is INJURIES.
No EC team in its right mind want to bump into a healthy Bulls team in the 1st or 2nd round of the postseason games.

What HC Thibs did to the Bulls .. happen to be the samething HC Pat Riley did to the Knicks then passed his gellin 6th man starters on to HC JVG. From HC JVG to HC Woodson there has not been any creative-imagination in our coaching system.
